Tommy Page, a singer who toured with New Kids on the Block and scored a #1 smash with "I'll Be Your Everything" in 1990, has died. He was 46.

According to a Facebook post by noted journalist Michael Musto — since removed — Page had been depressed and passed away Friday. Billboard later wrote that Page had been found dead of an apparent suicide.

Page was born in New Jersey and worked checking coats at the club Nell's, which led to his demo being played at the starry hot spot. He was introduced to influential Sire Records founder Seymour Stein, who is credited with discovering the Ramones, the Talking Heads and Madonna, and was signed to the label.
